Color purity is visually expressed as the vividness of the color, also known as saturation. The color with high color purity contains 1-2 color channels with large ink amount in the color channels, and the ink amount of the rest channels is small, and the color purity of the color is higher when the ratio of the ink amount of the small ink amount channel to the ink amount of the large ink amount channel is larger.
When an RGB image is sent to a printer, color separation is performed according to ink channels of the printer device, that is, an RGB color space of the image is decomposed into a device space of CM YK + N channels of the printer according to a similar chromaticity conversion principle, where N is the number of spot color channels, for example, CMYKBORG indicates 4 CMYK channels plus 4B (blue), O (orange), R (red), and G (green) spot color channels. In the color separation process, some high-purity colors are converted into device color data containing small ink quantity channels, and the existence of the small ink quantity channel data influences the visual purity of the output result of the printer.

(1) according to the image type, defining an ink quantity clearing threshold T, a decay radius R and a clearing mode selection threshold PT, wherein PT is equal to 0,1]: for images with predominant color blocking, R takes small values, e.g. R<T/a,a∈[2,4](ii) a For images that fade into the main, R takes a large value, e.g., R ═ T × b, b ∈ [1,5]]. To make the examples more representative, the ink volume clearing threshold T was set to 2.2%, the decayThe reduction radius was set to 6.6%. The attenuation profile may be approximated by a power-like function (y ═ cx)q+d,q>1, qt is 2.1), etc., and in this embodiment, the attenuation function may be defined by y ═ 1- (X)i-2.2)2.1/6.62.1And y is more than 0 and less than 1, and the processing pointer points to the initial processing position.

Wherein the ink amount of No. 3 ink channel is X 36/98, No. 5 ink channel ink quantity ratio X5Is 2/98.
(3) From the above calculation results, it can be seen that the ink amount occupying ratio of the No. 5 ink channel is 2.04% smaller than the ink amount clear threshold T, and direct clear is adopted.
The ink amount directly removed by the a.5 ink channel is 2;
b. according to the pixel constant brightness rule, the amount of ink channel No. 5 erased 2 added to ink channel No. 1 is 2 × 55/61 — 1.8.
(4) Ink quantity ratio X of No. 3 ink channel36.12% is greater than the ink amount removal threshold T2.2%, and is less than the sum of the ink amount removal threshold T and the attenuation radius R by 8.8%, and the following removal processing is performed in combination with two removal rules of probability removal and proportion removal:

e. The random number may be linear congruence (li)near consequential method) pseudo random number algorithm implementation. It uses a recursive formula: randn+1=(A×Randn+ B)% M. In this example, the multiplier a is 1140671485, the increment B is 12820163, and the modulus M is 32767.
As shown in fig. 4, after the color is processed by the method of the present application, the pixel (98,50,6,0,2,0) is directly cleared with a probability of 0.3 × 0.33, and the result is (100,50,0,0,0, 0); there is a probability of 0.3 × 0.67 not being cleared, resulting in (98,50,6,0,0, 0); there is a probability of 0.7, and a proportional cleaning of the ratio 0.33 results in (99,50,4,0,0, 0). The data shows that after the processing of the method, the color data of the equipment in the small ink amount channel is eliminated or reduced, the visual purity of the output result of the printer with various colors is improved, and the gradual transition fluency of the original image can be well maintained.
The clear amount of the K ink channel is distributed to C, M, Y channels and is calculated by adopting a gray Component replacement rule, namely GCR (Gray Component replacement), the principle is that a gray and black part formed by C, M, Y in an image can be reproduced by equal value K ink, and conversely, the K ink can be replaced by the gray and black generated by equal value C, M, Y so as to achieve consistency of optical and visual effects. The addition of the K ink purge amount equivalent to the C, M, Y channel according to the Gray Component Replacement (GCR) rule is exemplified as follows:
such as CMYK (0,0,0, 5); k ink is cleared and becomes CMYK (5,5,5, 0).
